Bowl Game Bus Trip

Perhaps, like said, I do not find it a good investment.

A larger and larger portion of graduates are moving out of the state...but we should not be concerned with those people let's continue to do nothing. Maybe it evolves something more geared to athletics but we need to be getting people from Colorado to Maine involved.

Agree! My money goes to RCAF and like you perhaps the day of buying multiple sports tickets may be gone eventually.

Just out of curiosity, how many of you are members of the Alumni Association?

Me. Been one for 38 consecutive years.

What's your opinion on how it's run, its effectiveness and how it can be better? I'll hang up and listen...

Full disclosure, I just exchanged messages with WestU, but I'm happy to state my opinion and fill people in on some things being discussed among folks behind the scenes.

My firm belief is that failure to promote and communicate within the Alumni Association (especially from local chapters, not including Houston and Atlanta - They do a tremendous job) is dramatically crippling our relationships with potential RCAF members, supporters going to events and attendance at home. I totally understand that need for funding. But I don't believe that our local chapters need to sit back and wait for demand in order to start "fund raising." Local chapters should be driving the bus (no pun intended) on these exact types of events. There is absolutely no funding necessary to start a social media campaign specifically geared toward BR, Biloxi, North Shore, NOLA chapters. No funding necessary to text, call, or email chapter members. It just takes a few individuals that give a damn. As I've discussed with others during the week of ULM, these things should be in the works weeks before! When the demand is successfully whipped up, the funding mechanism will take care of itself.

There should absolutely be a blitz of the mentioned chapters (or just fans in general) going on right now. And there's no reason at all that we can't get a vehicle stopping in the mentioned areas to pick up fans and get them to Mobile. Like it or not, this is where we are right now. It's time to stop talking and start DOING.

Amen!

Same questions for you that I asked Beau above.

Same questions for you that I asked Beau above.

The fees for the alumni club were never something that I needed an ROI on. I just never felt like they did a whole lot.

When I was in charge of the Lamer Victory party at the Super Dome they had to justify every penny spent to the Fossil. There was lots more we could have done with the mailing list, but was never given access to it.

I donate to both the Lagecy fund and local alumni chapter.
